I still find myself peeking at her, admiring her when walking away in a  parking lot. I've owned he since may 2008 and still stare a bit. My wife gets jealous lol (but I recently realized she is more like a pet then a gf lol) Any ways, I was just wondering if any one else feels this way about their yaris...

Yeah me too. I bought mine in April of 09 new. First new car in 10 years. I will also park as far away from other cars as I can, even if it means I have to walk long distances to get to a store . And I always look back. Grin

I always look back when im walking away. I cant help it. It doesnt matter if its his yari or mine. I also park in the very back or curbside. If im next to curb i leave a lot of space on other side just n case sumone wants to fling open their door. Why r u selling the company...u r verryy good at it Huh

yeah, that's the only thing that bugs me about mine.  i've put some money aside in savings for some new wheels/tires, but i'm telling myself not to spend over $500(maybe a little more with tires Wink).  i'm taking my time and looking to see when anybody has REALLY good deals before i pull the trigger.  i wouldn't want to put any new wheels on right now for obvious reasons(look outside Cheesy).  anybody have a recommendation for lightweight, 15" wheels and a good place to find them cheap?  what do you think would look good on a white 3-door?

craigslist can have some good deals locally sometimes. the first set i had were nice and cheap from craigslist.. but they were 17" and super heavy .. i lost about 5mpg with them and he ride was horrible (very little sidewall)  15" seems the way to go. i do the same thing i get to the point to where i want some again and start looking for the best deal and end up not getting anything or worse having to spend the money on bills instead

^yeah i know the feeling.  i don't have a lot of things i'm into really anymore and the money i set aside was 'bonus' money so i have two pretty good defenses and you know what they say 'it's easier to beg for forgiveness and to ask for permission!' Cheesy  seriously though, once i pay taxes and one big medical bill i should be made in the shade Cool
